This is the "Red Pitcher Plant", Nepenthes ventricosa 'Rosea'. I have never had one bloom before and this plant now has two bloom stalks. I don't know whether these bloom regularly or seldom.

That is SO cool! I have never seen one bloom either.

Tropical plants like the Ramsey house.........

From what I understand it's quite a feat to get them to blooming size. You are apparently keeping it happy!!

Thanks, Carter. Before my move to Florida a month a ago, I sold the vast majority of my 1200+ tropical plants, including selling out of 43 varieties of orchids. I sold all of my carnivores, including the two that boomed. One of those had four stems in bloom. Their prices made them a steal.

I will basically have to start all over with my tropical plant growing. For the first time in my life, I now live in the sub-tropical area, Vero Beach. Growing tropicals should now be so much easier than when I was in Mississippi.

I agree this plant was a steal! Tendrils are getting fatter but no pitchers yet. A very healthy plant.

Try your hand at planting the seeds, Lisa. That's something I have never done, since these winter bloomers were my first.
